Moose Men?
« on: May 01, 2011, 06:15:15 pm »

While traversing a good-aligned mountain, I came across a rather large field of bubble bulbs, and while unicorns to slaughter (or die trying) a came across a group of Moose Men. I could speak with them, but they would not join me and when I asked them questions they replied with "Ask me when I have returned to my home."

Could these Moose Men be migrating somewhere? Or is this just some strange bug?

You could speak to them?  That doesn't seem normal.

Honestly, I know nothing of these Moose Men.  I mod them out, along with Capybara Men, Badger Men, Panda Men... basically 70% of the humanoid monsters have no reason to exist.

Giraffe Men?

Surprisingly I leave Plump Helmet Men in.  Couldn't tell you why.

Because plump helmet men are cool. You don't need a better excuse.

I think it's just a bug right now that creatures that can speak to you but whom have no home, like the some of the animal men, can't answer questions. I would even argue that the conversation function is entirely incomplete. It hasn't been fundamentally updated for a while, either.

I am hesitant to call it a bug, if you've read Threetoe's stories he has plenty of examples of elves talking to animals. I believe they will be developed later. In the mean time you have placeholders like this. You could already talk to cavern tribes long before above ground animal men showed up.

Cool! Use DFusion to possess one and recruit the others. :)
